[QUOTE="farmer17, post: 754533, member: 8389"] +1 for the Weatherby Vanguard. It comes with a factory test target and is guaranteed to shoot under 1.5" groups and my .223 had a 3/4" factory test target group and I could equal that with cheap value pack ammo. It has an adjustable trigger that I got down to under 3 lbs and has a hinged floor plate for easy cleaning and unloading. Many of the cheaper guns don't have a hinged floor plate and a blind magazine well is hard to clean without taking the whole gun apart. I like .243s but they seem just a bit light for deer at long range quartering away. The 25-06 is powerful enough for any deer, easy on the shoulder, and also good on long range predators. A Leupold VX-1 3-9x scope with good mounts and the whole rig is under 700 bucks. [/QUOTE]
